CIP3--Time to Celebrate?

Recently, Printing Impressions spoke with Heidelberg's CIP3 man, most recently photographed clutching a 1998 InterTech Award given to Heidelberg at the GATF Fall Technology Conference. The award recognizes Heidelberg's new CPC 32 prepress interface.

Bischoff proudly reports Heidelberg brought the first CIP3-compliant system to market: its CPC 32 prepress interface. It automatically presets a press' ink zones directly from prepress data. That shortens makeready, reduces paper waste and improves printing consistency, resulting in higher efficiency for the printer.
